Percussionist Justin Jay Hines To Pitch a Musical Doubleheader
COOPERSTOWN—The Cooperstown Summer Music Festival is set to knock it out of the park with a musical doubleheader featuring acclaimed percussionist, composer and teaching artist Justin Jay Hines on Friday, August 16. Both events in this free, family-friendly twin bill are open to the public, with registration required.
Hines, a veteran performer and teaching artist with the New York Philharmonic and other all-star ensembles, will bring his major league talent to Cooperstown for a day of interactive music-making.
The first event kicks off at 10:30 a.m. with “Buckets of Fun!” at Origins Cafe, a garden and eatery in Cooperstown dedicated to “serving the well-being of soil, people and planet.” Participants aged 7 and up will craft percussion tools from natural materials and learn funky hip-hop rhythms on garden buckets, which will be provided. The workshop culminates in a group bucket drumming performance.
